Ahearne World Touring Bike

This bike is very custom, and is ready for anything. The list of features includes: 26″ wheels, Rohloff 14 speed internally geared rear hub, Gates Carbon belt drive, Paul “Klamper” disc brakes, Supernova lights powered by a Schmidt front generator hub, internal wiring throughout. On top of the stem is the Supernova “Plug” which is a USB port to charge small devices from the power of the front hub. The bike has S&S couplers so it can be broken down for easier transport on airplanes etc. The racks are custom, steel, made in house. The fenders have very nice and understated striping, and the offset color of the racks is a quiet nod to the custom aesthetic. Keefer’s bike is ready to hit the road for the long haul.

There are a lot more detailed photos on flickr, including some photos of the process.
